Radar
Clock tick-ticking as I lay in bed.
Warm whippet body against my thigh.
Smooth shiny fur under my fingers.
Cold, damp nose tucked into my elbow.
Velvety wispy ear draped over my wrist.
Calm slow breathes tickling my arm.
Soft brown eyes slowly drifting shut.
 These are the moments I want to remember
Forever.

Took Radar out for a short slow loop after I went to check on my friends cats. And now I am utterly exhausted again. Hoping this doesn’t hang on too long for me. My grandma started on Wednesday morning, and she’s still sick. I am obviously a lot younger and generally in better health, but when this started I was also still recovering from the whatever RSV-like thing I had over Christmas. Plus the throat infection. We’ll see how tonight and tomorrow go I suppose.
Pet Photography
So Radar's new coat arrived today (hooray for Cabela's gift cards when I'm broke!), so it was as good of an excuse as I needed to take pictures of her. I love taking pictures of the dogs. I harbour this mildly outrageous sort of secret wish to do pet photography as a significant portion of my career. I think in a perfect world I would do individual portraits, like lifestyle & branding sessions for people, and then pet (including large animals) + owner sessions, and then pet only sessions. The idea of trying to make that viable terrifies me. Even though I know people do it.
On that note, if you live in Central Alberta and are willing to let me practice on your pet, please drop me a note…
If you want to see a truly awesome pet photographer that I really admire, check out Wally & Roops Pet Photography on Instagram.
Also, enjoy these photos of Radar in her new Hurtta hi-viz Extreme Warmer from Cabela's.
Breathing and Dog Cuddles
This has been quite the week, so much going on, almost all positive, but requiring quite a bit of brain power and energy. Lots of "on" time and social interaction for this ambivert.
This week, dog cuddles and breathing exercises have been keeping me sane and helping me come back down to calm when I'm anxious.
I don't think there is anything more comforting than soft, warm dog fur against my face to help me come back to the present moment. And once I'm back in the present moment, mindful breathing exercises, like box breathing or counting 4 seconds on each inhale and exhale, helps slow down my heartbeat and my racing thoughts. This helps me take a calmer more rational approach to whatever is currently causing me stress.
I know...
...you're wondering where the bird photos are, right?
Ok, they're here. I've only got a couple so far this week, these were from Monday.
I'm debating changing my calendar idea from "Chickadee Calendar" to "Chickadee Butts Calendar," because I seem to have a knack for capturing shots just as they've turned away from me.

Out for a stroll on a beautiful evening. Also, Tonka is weird ok. I do not understand why he's always mucking about in bushes and plants. #radarhound #whippet #whippetlife #whippetlove #whippetsofinstagram #brindle #brindlewhippet #ilovemydog #whippetsofig #girlsbestfriend #happyhound #ballbrain #sighthound #sighthoundsofinstagram #shihtzu #dogsofinsta #shihtzusofinstagram
Mum bought some cool art from this girl, Retro Repurposed Victoria. And then the girl was super nice and let me lay on her blanket near her while we waited for our lunch to be ready. She was very lovely. #radarhound #whippet #whippetlife #whippetlove #whippetsofinstagram #brindle #brindlewhippet #ilovemydog #whippetsofig #girlsbestfriend #happyhound #ballbrain #sighthound #sighthoundsofinstagram #bc #hellobc #tourismbc #travelbc #britishcolumbia #beautifulbritishcolumbia #ExploreBC #beautifulbc #explorecanada
